Two Men Found Dead in North Houston Home

HPD has opened a homicide investigation that will rely on forensic testing to determine how the men died.

Overview

  • A neighbor reported a foul odor and officers forced entry to a home near Downey Street and Little York Road after a call came in just before 5:15 p.m. Monday.
  • Responding officers found the bodies of two men inside the Northside/Northline residence and homicide detectives were called to the scene.
  • Police said the bodies showed some signs of decomposition and investigators have not yet identified the victims or determined a cause of death.
  • Houston police say the inquiry is active and that authorities are withholding further details while on-scene work and forensic exams proceed.
  • Next steps include autopsy and forensic testing that can take time when decomposition is present, and officials warn updates will follow as results and identifications are completed.
